Question 6

Marcus is creating a script for an educational revision video on how evolutionary theory and natural/sexual selection explain human mate preferences.

His script outline must cover:

  • the role of selective pressures (specifically inter-sexual or intra-sexual selection)
  • a visual diagram or infographic concept illustrating anisogamy
  • the concept of maximizing reproductive success across generations
  • supporting evidence from a key classic investigation in this area.

Describe how Marcus can address each of these four elements in his video script to explain human partner preferences.
